Virgin Islands Book Highlight: The Frog in Prague by Chantal Flax-Ward

Threshold Frog in Prague

I have shared book highlights that have featured siblings or different books from the same author. My author today is Chantal Flax-Ward and she is Andria Flax's daughter and Lincoln Ward's wife. Her book is The Frog in Prague. The title is uniquely crafted and inspired by her son and the family's trip to Prague.

The Frog in Prague is ideal for early readers because of the vivid imagery and layout. The story chronicles the family's travel to Prague and how the young son, Loucan kept saying frog for the word Prague. The author tells the story as a loving parent who showed patience and understanding to her son. Readers also get a snapshot of Prague's attractions and culture.

Here are some highlights:

• Dancing building
• Duck, pancakes and cooked cabbage - classic dinner
• Vlata River
• Prague Castle
• Changing of the castle guards

The family was unable to find a frog while they were on their journey until it was time to depart. Loucan met a lady at the airport who had drawing implements. Guess what happened next!

Dancing Building

A word from the author:

Parents have shared how much their children love journeying alongside the adventurous little traveler in the story, Loucan. 2026 holds much in store as I continue to build on his adventures, bringing new destinations to life in the series and sparking curiosity about the world.
